Entertaiment is a hugely popular art form that can be found in a wide variety of media, from paintings and photographs to operas and movies. It can range from the simple pleasures of an individual choosing personal entertainment, to a dinner party accompanied by a carefully selected menu and wines, to performances for thousands or even a global audience.
Many forms of entertainment touch on points that the human brain was evolved to react deeply to, in order to understand the world. For example, the story of Scheherazade, from Persian professional storytelling tradition, has inspired a number of classical music compositions; film adaptations; and innovative video games.
